I need help with Although we continuously see new technology being developed, there are some technologies that have “stood the ttest of time”. New features may be added to a technology and/or new ways of using the technology are discovered. Prior to completing this discussion read Alemu (2015) and Selwyn & Facer (2014).
Initial Post: Create an initial response that addresses the following:
- First, select an instructional technology that has been used in education that is at least 20 years old.
- Explain how your selected instructional technology was first used in education. Be sure to provide an example.
- Explain how your selected instructional technology is now used in education. Is it used differently? The same? Be sure to provide an example of the instructional technology’s current use.
- Explain how instructional design theory has shaped the application of your instructional technology in education.
Guided Response: Post responses to at least two classmates. Questions you might consider in your response include:
- How has the technology changed over the past 20 years?
- What role has instructional design theory played in the application of technology in education?
- Do you feel the examples your classmates have given are accurate?
